Femur nails are intramedullary rods inserted into the femur’s central canal to stabilize fractures or pathological bone conditions, ensuring proper alignment for healing. They may also be used in knee arthrodesis procedures, with some designs featuring locking mechanisms or additional fixation components for targeted support.
These devices are typically single-use but require sterilization before clinical use. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, and classification depends on factors like locking mechanisms or additional fixation features, though they are generally considered high-risk due to their orthopedic function.
